The Shreveport Times, one Of the
liveliest anti-administration papers in
the State, admits that the present
State administration deserves credit
for the prompt aud full enforcement
Of the laws. The Times says: "There
have been lapses here and there it is
true, but as a rule the State has en-.
ioyed peace and tranquility. There
has been some steals and defalcations,
but they were the exception and not
the rule. The helm of the State has
been so held as to give the people an
orderly passage across the gulf Of
four years, and to-day life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness are
within the reach of all citizens Of
the State. The present State admin
istration has carefully guarded the
material deyelopement of the State.
Our Ieyees, our railroads, our mann
featuring interests have received at
tention, and while the administration
has not accomplished any pronounced
result, yet the policy of the executive
has been such as to encourage the de-
velopement of our resources.

A carload Of piping has just been

the output will bs increased. BY the
way, the water which comes up with

to be possessed Of valuable medicinal
qualities, and several are using II with
marked success for indigestion and
other like disorders, The most marked
success is in the case of Mrs, D, w,
